Astrid Harrisson has more than ten years of industry experience in graphic design, photography, creative direction, and marketing. She began photographing animals in early 2008, working on a ranch high in the hills in northwest Argentina, where a lifelong adoration of all things animal fused dramatically with her creative side. Daily adventures, camera in hand, provided the opportunity for Astrid to capture the essence of ranch life from new perspectives and inspired a book on the history of the estancia. Astrid has subsequently traveled to the United States with her camera, as well as photographing animals in the foothills of the Andes, Cuba, Switzerland, Mozambique, and Iceland. Tamsin and Astrid have recently collaborated on the highly acclaimed The Majesty of the Horse.
